Hey this brings up a good point - what do you vintage guys top out (speed
wise) in the straights??  I am estimating a 7K redline with 21" tires
(185/60/13) would put me between 82-89 mph max...

As it is apparent, I know jack crap about this stuff....

(I've taken my Solo car to track sessions - 20" tire / 5.38 / 8500+ redline
was giving me over 95 mph in the straights.  And yes, I pinged of the
limiter ALOT, but the corner gearing was on the money...)
